Magyar? And the language’s closest relative is Finnish, if memory serves me

Baszdmeg!

Morning! No, the language isn't slavic, so I don't think Hungarians are. I heard Hungarian and Iranian languages are connected. Is it true?

GM beautiful people! ☀️

Good morning, Nostr!

Somebody told me on Nostr that I'm a king because I'm a blue-collar. Well, this sums up pretty well what kind of legendary king I am. 🤣

(If you don't get the joke, try to pull out one dirty plastic bucket from another.)

Have a beautiful day!

Someone can always abuse the honor system. I will never be the one to undermine a high-trust society with "race-to-the-bottom" behaviour.

And it only becomes hopeless when you have intentional subversion by bad actors.

Bitcoin requires adversarial thinking but somehow you must reconcile that with the fact that no one wants to be in a community with scummy people.

Respecting Core filters was an honor system thing that shouldn't work in theory but in practice has done for basically its entire existence.

And it has taken intentional malice by scammers to undermine that.

The best argument I can make against my position here is the point that honor systems don't scale. Leave-the-cash-in-a-box farm stand works in a village with 500 people. It's not going to work in New York City. True.

But at the same time, Bitcoin is a permanently unfinished and evolving technology. All the decisions in that regard are downstream from its users. And if its users can't resist undermining their own interests with short-termist obliteration of the commons by treating nodes as a disposable but inevitable resource when its the only aspect to Bitcoin making it genuinely decentralized then the future looks extremely bleak.

I don't think the alleged hopelessness of counter-spam measures is coming from people who are prepared to take all the relevant players in this ecosystem into account.

Do spammers want their spam to be stored by the world's most redundant database? Sure.

Do miners want to get paid for facilitating that? Sure - though that's very short sighted of them.

But does my node want to relay fake transactions thinly veiling chunks of non-Bitcoin garbage from spammers to miners? Of course not. And without our nodes you don't have Bitcoin. You have another stupid crypto.

16% of the network is permissionlessly asserting their right to relay what's in the interests of themselves and the network.

Just like how you can argue that me not stealing the blueberries from the farm stand and voluntarily paying for them is completely rational behaviour for someone who doesn't want to chop off the branch on which they sit.

Good morning old people of Nostr!

This is us.

It smells fishy 🤣

This was no ordinary storm here.

Enjoy life and relax a bit. You can’t fix everything. You’re not #Bitcoin.

My mother gracefully taught me to say good morning to people.

German kids playing with bundles of money during hyperinflation (1923). So yeah, probably a few Sats won't hurt anyone.
